Imipramine Drug Withdrawal

Imipramine - Why am I not able to get this drug anymore? I have been on it since 1989, 100mg at night. I have been off it now for over two weeks, I see no withdrawal symptoms.

@Shirley,

It's amazing to hear that you're not experiencing any sort of withdrawal symptoms after being on an antidepressant for over 25 years and abruptly stopping treatment. That's certainly a good sign and in my opinion may be a reflection of how you've mentally and emotionally overcome the depression Imipramine was treating over the years... But as far as availability is concerned, are doctors or pharmacists telling you that they just can't write or fill prescriptions for it anymore? Or might it just be one or two local pharmacy that are out of stock and simply wont order it any longer due to low profit margins? Something else on this note that I think is important to recognize, is that all of the chain pharmacies are "for profit" and if a certain medication isn't reaching their sale expectations I can see why they'd no longer want to carry it in that regard... This is one of the biggest issues with big pharma (pun intended) in that they're supposed to be helping patients, not transforming us into customers and playing games with our livelihood by pushing and pulling medications from the marketplace.
